Don't waste your time. I could care less. I just understand people like you are too small minded to understand the purpose of such systems.

I know. The tool arguing that he's helping gear the ungeared people is laughable. It's fair to say that he's the only one voting for the noob so he's getting a whole 1 comm. Completely useless. But I'm sure you made that one guy feel good for the vote Mr. carebear.

You're completely missing the point. The extra comm (1) is worthless, is that really going to help them gear faster? Get real. It's setup to be a recognition system that incentivizes people to play the correct way. Whether that serves someone's epeen or not is irrelevant, it motivates people to work towards objectives and use proper team play strategy regardless of what their reason for wanting the votes are. That's the intent of the system. You can give your mvp votes to the ungeared if you want, but that's not really helping them and you're misusing the system and thus people lose faith in it because clueless people like you don't know what they're doing. I could care less about mvp votes myself, they're completely irrelevant and arbitrary. I just think they serve to incentivize people to play the right way and that's a good thing. MMO pvp'ers are about personal gain most of the time and any help we can offer, no matter the motivation, to work towards team goals is a good thing. You obviously don't understand the intent nor the benefit of such a system.

It's not a welfare vote, it's a vote for "most valuable player". It's not like it's going to help them gear up any faster. It's a recognition system that's supposed to reward people for playing the right way. Personally as a healer, I give it to a tank who keeps guard up on me. If there were no competent tanks, I give it to the person with the top medals.

I'm no hater bro. I love my healer sorc but he's definitely the least opportunistic healer of the three and take the most skill to produce. My problem is that I can not get the knockback root or the shield blind with my build. A hybrid build can but that's hardly a healer build and relies too much on casted heals which are hard to come by to say the least. How am I supposed to get distance on a mara with a knockback that doesn't root and keep him in range the whole time, a 1 min stun that lasts 4 sec (my best chance) and a sprint that is often times nullified by the mara by a root or stun when he see's me darting off. Look, I play a mara and I love to see a healing sorc across from me. Not because I know them and how to counter them, but because they're so easily countered by ANYTHING. Leave me alone and I'm deadly, look at me wrong and I'm running for my life. Not working as intended.

Complete tool here. Any class that requires a dedicated healer/guard/purge bot is not an adequate solution to as to your counter. I have a full WH healing sorc who definitely needs some love and I also have a full WH mara who could stand to lose a little. Take away or lessen one defensive cooldown and they're fine. It's just too easy to put out such huge numbers. I honestly think the difference is skill ceiling. Mara/sent are way too easy to do well, my sorc is way more complicated to do well. The "skill ceiling" should be relatively the same. As the BW pvp manager said, they raised the skill cap on sorcs quite a bit with 1.2 and they lowered it with mara's in 1.3 quite a bit. The problem is that they over nerf/buff classes. They seriously over nerfed sorcs and buffed mara's too much. I'd love to see these so called metrics they base their changes on.

Yeah I fall into the camp of the tank should follow the healer. A healer, such as myself (sorc), has to keep moving to keep shields on everyone. Also situationally to put down a AOE heal so I am always on the move. Not to mention that I get focused often because I'm very squishy and am often the #1 target for that reason, I have to keep LOS'ing and kiting. If a tank isn't aware and moving with me, the guard is useless as he's almost never in range.

This happens more times than not. That begs an age old question: Should the healer follow the tank or the tank follow the healer? Thread successfully derailed.

I don't think you're underappreciated at all. Keep that guard up on me, peel me and I'll keep you alive and we'll be good. Sincerely, Your healer

I've seen this a few times. This D-bag will hit this macro a hundred times in a WZ and thinks he's cool. As a sorc healer, I often pull him out of battle for fun and he definitely gets no heals.

As a sorc healer, my counter is sent/mara's. If I'm not stunned, I'm rooted and cannot kite/LOS as I need to be able to to stay alive. My best chance is to put my slow on them and sprint away and hope their jump is on CD.

810k as a sorc healer in void star, half WH no guard and getting focused pretty regularly not a premade, was a pug Regularly get over 700k but that was my top. Only been healing about 3 weeks tho.

1. corruption sorc .. .. 10. corruption sorc Depends on the wz. If I get support it's a lot of fun, otherwise I'm running for my life spending most of my time healing myself.

Besides telling you to get a thicker skin, there's something else you should know about a full ignore list. If someone is on your ignore list, you will never be grouped with them again in a pug wz. So if you have a full ignore list, you've just increased your wait time by quite a bit.

You can augment the matrix cube, I have mine augmented. There's a bug when you go to the mod station but there's a work around. Thanks for the info guys, I'll go with the WH power relic then!
